Poverty in Metropolitan Richmond (Virginia) reflects the work of Dr. John Moeser, Senior Fellow of the Bonner Center for Civic Engagement at the University of Richmond. For nearly ten years, Dr. Moeser has been analyzing U.S. Census data to track poverty trends among the localities of metropolitan Richmond, Virginia. This project commenced as a way to inform the public about the growth of impoverishment and its effect on every aspect of urban life. The data analysis and reports have been presented to numerous groups in metropolitan Richmond, including public officials, business executives, heads of non-profit organizations, leaders in the faith community, and neighborhood-based associations. The following data analysis and reports focus strictly on Census data pertaining to poverty trends in Richmond and its suburbs. They do not include slides related to the history of concentrated poverty or policy interventions necessary to address poverty.
